50 amazing wrist tattoos for men and women

The wrist has always been an attractive tattoo location. It’s where we place our watches and bracelets, so it’s no surprise that the wrist would be a popular choice for the cool tattoo you secretly desired. But before you take the plunge, make sure you’ve considered all the branches that come with a highly visible tattoo. Many jobs prohibit visible tattooing, no matter how small or tasteful the design may be.

This was indeed a difficult list to put together as the Web was flooded with tons of amazing wrist tattoos that all of our list seemed worthy for one reason or another. It’s our experience that people start to lose patience with lists of over 50 items, so we’ll do our best to keep it at 50 – including future edits. Enjoy!

Absolutely fantastic. This flash seems to be made up of several thin layers that are all put together. (Photo: Georgia Gray)

This elegant fern.

This flower wrap.

Anna always comes through with the most elegant blackwork floral designs and this piece is no exception. Although this design is more toward the forearm category, the negative space branch that wraps around the wrist more than qualifies it as a wrist tattoo. (Photo: Anna Bravo)
